31 of 31 CLEP exams accepted
Conditions Salisbury University places on CLEP credit
The university states: “A maximum of 24 hours of CLEP credit can be applied to a baccalaureate degree,” and that “CLEP credits cannot be used to satisfy course work requirements within the Medical Technology, Nursing, and Respiratory Therapy programs unless written approval is obtained from the department chair prior to testing.” Scores are those in the column headed “Minimum Score beginning 10/01/2022”, and Spanish with Writing is listed as “Under Review”. Several exams are dual-tier, where a score of 50 earns elective credit and a higher score earns credit for the named course; each language entry combines Levels 1 and 2 with two thresholds and does not state which course attaches to which, so the credit amount is not published.
